Chapter 367: Lure Them Out

After finishing speaking, Xu Xiang smiled at A Lu Zhi and A Lu Ge, and said, "But I believe in everyone’s ability. I believe that we can win this war, and we must win. If we fail, the world will perish together with us."

A Lu Ge looked at her and his fourth elder brother’s serious expression, and said, "Don’t worry. We have the protection of the ancient gods. I believe that as long as the ancient gods protect us, we can defeat all our enemies."

When he said this, A Lu Zhi turned his head to look at his youngest brother. Seeing the firm belief in A Lu Ge’s eyes, A Lu Zhi realized something and thought: ’I finally know why only Xiao Xiong can directly summon the God of War for protection.’

Realizing this, he laughed. A Lu Ge saw that his fourth elder brother suddenly laughed, and asked, "Fourth Elder Brother, what are you laughing at?"

A Lu Zhi patted his head lightly, and said, "You are right. Because my belief is not strong enough, fear breeds in my heart. I should learn more from you, Xiao Xiong."

A Lu Ge didn’t understand what his fourth elder brother was talking about, and looked at him in confusion. Looking at his cute expression, A Lu Zhi smiled, and then took a deep breath.

After regaining his confidence, A Lu Zhi looked at Xu Xiang and said, "We need more information before we can make a plan."

As soon as A Lu Zhi’s words fell, the curtain opened, and A Lu Da walked in. Seeing his serious expression, A Lu Zhi asked, "Elder Brother, did something happen?"

A Lu Da nodded to his fourth younger brother, then looked at Xu Xiang and said, "My third younger brother has already found out who is the mastermind behind all of this."

"Is it the Moon Pavilion?" Xu Xiang asked calmly.

A Lu Da nodded and said, "Yes, and their main goal is to kidnap you. Creating chaos in our village is just a distraction planned by them in advance."

Hearing what he said, Xu Xiang frowned slightly. She tried to guess the Moon Pavilion’s purpose in kidnapping her, but couldn’t find the answer. Unless they knew her true identity, there was no logical explanation for their attempted abduction of her.

"Xu Xiang, I will strengthen the security in our village. You have to be careful until all the spies are caught." A Lu Da said after a moment of silence.

Xu Xiang thought for a while and asked, "Do you have any clues about the identity of the spies?"

A Lu Da shook his head and said, "We don’t have any clues yet and we only found out the identity of the mastermind behind them. As for the identity of the spies and why the barbarians agreed to help the Moon Pavilion, we don’t know anything about that until now."

After hearing his answer, Xu Xiang said calmly: "Then... Let’s lure them out."

Hearing what she said, A Lu Zhi quickly said, "No. We don’t know anything about them, and it’s too dangerous to act without enough information."

Looking at his frowning face, Xu Xiang smiled slightly and said, "Because we don’t have any clues about the spies, so we can’t afford to delay this matter any longer. I’m afraid if the spy isn’t caught as soon as possible, the Moon pavilion will make their next step. At that time, it will no longer be as simple as poisoning our water and food."

A Lu Zhi thought for a long time before saying, "If you want to lure them out, then we need a good plan."

Xu Xiang shook her head and said, "There is no need to make a plan. I’m sure that when A Lu Da and A Lu Ge brought the barbarians’ corpses back, those spies already realized that we knew there were spies among us. Since they already knew, then they must be eager to get the job done as quickly as possible. We can use this loophole to our advantage."

Hearing what she said, A Lu Da scratched his head and asked, "How can you use this to our advantage?"

The corner of her mouth curled up slightly after she heard his question and said, "We just need to create a chance for them to kidnap me. When they come, we can trap them and arrest them all at once."

A Lu Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Will those spies take this bait? Won’t they think it’s too easy to kidnap you and decide to wait and hide instead?"

Xu Xiang shook her head and said, "From the information we gather so far, there should be at least two groups of spies in this village."

She raised her index finger and said, "The first group is the one who poisoned the water..."

Raising her middle finger, Xu Xiang continued: "And the second group is the one who poisoned the food. Judging from their actions, the spies who poisoned the water are smarter because they only poisoned the water tank in the kitchen, and not the well water. If we only checked the well water and didn’t check everything carefully, we would think the water was clean and fail to find out about the poison. By the time we realize it’s not a disease but a poison, it would be too late for us to do anything."

After a moment of silence, she smiled slightly and added: "As for those who poisoned the food, they were eager for quick success, so they not only poisoned the food in the barracks, but also poisoned the food in the village’s warehouse. This caused some villagers who drank the water brought back by the soldiers to be poisoned as well. Because of this, I realize that there are two groups of spies in our village, and they operate separately."

"So you are saying... They weren’t smart enough to realize it was a trap?" A Lu Da asked after pondering on her explanation.
